Food bank receives 1,100 pounds of food

A food drive in Albany County in honor of Martin Luther King Junior collected over a half ton of food.

The food was delivered Friday to the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York.
The legislative black caucus held a food drive from January 16th until February 9th, collecting 1,100 pounds of food for the food bank.

The group is also encouraging monetary donations because with every dollar the food bank can distribute four meals.
